An Independent Mind, Knot Logic

I request the proper authority of the State of California to investigate Elon Musk owner and founder of the Tesla Organization (Elon Musk is the co-founder, CEO and product architect at Tesla Motors, a company dedicated to producing affordable, mass-market electric cars as well as battery products and solar roofs. Musk oversees all product development, engineering and design of the company's products; https://www.biography.com/people/elon-musk-20837159) hfor the impact of his factory manufacturing of the electric vehicle and the possible impact on all the most recent Northern California fires.  Upon and to include the following in such a request:  The environmental impact reports, i.e.: Reports and/or request forms to P.G.&E. in San Francisco's Main Office.

1. These forms would settle the advancement of the impulse or what I will call the pull of electricity across our State of California that would have placed stress on all (what would immediately become outdated) equipment.

2. Did Elon Musk afford the financial information included in said forms for the updating of all P.G.& E. equipment for cost + improvements + technology needed to 'Product' new buckets and poles for all traversing towers and Central hubs.

3. Were all 'plug-in locations' for the Electrical Vehicle pre-approved and installed with P.G.& E.'s equipment and was their continued maintenance expected and/or paid for in advance or on deposit?

4. I would like a 'Product development map out of Fremont, California the home of Elon Musks Tesla’s factory as it is one of the world’s most advanced automotive plants, with 5.3 million square feet of manufacturing and office space on 370 acres of land. Following the City of Fremont’s approval of Tesla’s expansion plans in 2016, the company will nearly double the size of the facility to almost 10 million square feet, beginning with the old spec. the map would include all Northern California P.G.& E. hubs, buckets and lines to support the output to an actual grounding facility and/or updated unit device to be understood for the layman as an active Geiger counter to identify all rads (word prospect).

More questions will be added to this brief.
